Butterscotch Drops Recipes

BUTTERSCOTCH DROPS

Steps:

• I have found it's often best to use a little peanut butter; and sometimes a package and a half to get the melted ingredients to adhere better to the cereal.
• Carefully melt the butterscotch drops and the peanut butter together over low heat.
• Do not overcook.
• Pour over the cereal.
• Mix well.
• Drop by tablespoonful onto waxed paper coated cookie sheets.
• Chill.
• These take a couple of hours to set in the fridge, so it's best to make them in the morning, so they will ready to eat for afterschool snacks.

CLASSIC BUTTERSCOTCH DROPS RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare 2 large baking sheets by lining them with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with cooking spray.
• Combine the sugar, cream, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Add the cream of tartar and boil the mixture until it reaches 240 F ( soft-ball stage ). Add the butter and continue boiling until the mixture reaches 280 F ( soft-crack stage ).
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
• Using a very small teaspoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the hot candy onto the prepared baking sheets. It is important to work quickly before the candy begins to set. The drops will spread, so leave a bit of space in between your spoonfuls. Continue forming small butterscotch drops on the prepared sheets until you run out of candy or it becomes too hard to work with.
• Allow the drops to set at room temperature, then lift them off the baking sheet. Serve immediately, or place them in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
